CAREER ROADMAP

Seaman Recruit to Master Chief Roadmap

The educational roadmap below will assist Sailors in the Information Systems Technician community through the process ofpursuing professional development and advanced education using various military and civilian resources e.g. PQS program;JST Joint Service Transcript; E-Learning; Navy College Network; etc. Successful leadership is the key to military readiness andwill always require a high degree of technical skill, professional knowledge, and intellectual development.

What is a Career Roadmap for Information Systems Technician?

Information Systems Technician roadmaps are just what the name implies - a roadmap through the Enlisted Learning andDevelopment Continuum from Seaman Recruit through Master Chief. The principal focus is to standardize a program Navy wideby featuring the existing skills necessary to be successful in the Navy. The ultimate goal of a roadmap is to produce a functionaland competent Sailor.

What is the Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum?

Enlisted Learning and Development Continuum is the formal title given to the curriculum and process building on the foundationof Sailorization beginning in our Delayed Entry Program through Recruit Training Command and throughout your entire career.The continuum combines skill training, professional education, well-rounded assignments, and voluntary education. As youprogress through your career, early-on skill training diminishes while professional military education gradually increases.Experience is the ever-present constant determining the rate at which a Sailor trades skill training for professional development.

Do Sailors have to follow the Roadmap?

Yes. The Information Systems Technician roadmap includes the four areas encompassed by the Continuum in ProfessionalMilitary Education to include; Navy Professional Military Education (NPME), Joint Professional Military Education (JPME),Leadership and Advanced Education.

Some training and education is mandatory (Recruit Training, IT “A” School at the Center For Information Warfare Traininglocated in Pensacola, Florida, E-Learning, etc.). Some may be directed by your chain of command (Microsoft Excel andPowerPoint courses), and the remainder is voluntary (MNP, E-Learning, college courses, etc.). Sailors are advised to seek outmentors, including your Command Master Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer andCommand Career Counselor, and to make use of your Navy College Virtual Education Center (VEC) or OCONUS EducationOffice's vast resources. All are uniquely qualified to help you along the way.

Notes: 1. “A” School required. 2. Sea/Shore flow rotation for IT is 36/36. A well-diversified history of assignments CONUS and OCONUS are a critical part in the path to promotion. 3. Sea duty assignments are demanding and provide Sailors with a more conventional career path. Traditional career enhancing sea duty tours should include leadership positions such as LPO, department/branch/division LCPO, and Numbered Fleet Staff/Strike Group Staffs. Serving in at least one challenging command-level collateral and achieving other qualifications that support command mission will ensure the best possible candidates are promoted. OCONUS sea duty assignments are extremely challenging and should be considered when selecting next duty assignment. 4. Career enhancing shore tours should be positions in which Senior Enlisted Leaders develop subordinates and mentor them in proper career progression with emphasis on continuing technical and leadership development. IT leadership-intensive shore duty billets include NCTAMS, NCTS, CIWT, ATG, IWTG, Rating Assignments Detailer, White House Communications Agency (WHCA), Cyber Protection Team (CPT), Cyber Mission Force (CMF) and Operational Shore billets. Sailors should make it a point to serve at least one tour at a NCTAMS or NCTS during their career.



5. While there are many challenging sea/shore assignments in the IT community, Expeditionary communications support assignments are highly recommended due to their high OPTEMPO. Expeditionary assignments include Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC), Joint Communications Unit (JCU), Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE), Naval Special Warfare (NSW), and Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU). Though billets are limited, Sailors should consider serving at least one tour in an Expeditionary communications support billet. Initial tours and subsequent tours after successful Fleet assignments should not be looked at unfavorable. Considerations for advancement from E6 to E7 1. Sea Assignments: Sea duty tours are onboard surface units. Expeditionary assignments are also considered sea duty and candidates are carefully screened prior to assignment.

• Should show strong documented leadership results serving as LPO, Watch Supervisor, or in other key leadership positions

• Should show strong documented technical knowledge in assigned billet • Demonstrate operational and/or command-wide impact • Enlisted Warfare Qualifications are expected when available • Training Team (DCTT, MTT, CSTT, 3MTT, etc.) leader/member with documented impact • Command or Asst Command Collateral Duties with documented impact • FCPOA leadership or influential involvement • Sailor 360 involvement

2. Shore Assignments: Shore duty billets are primarily at NCTAMS, NIOC, IWTC, CPT, ATG, IWTG, CPT, CMF and at Operational shore sites.

• Should show strong documented leadership results serving as LPO, Watch Supervisor, Instructor or in other key leadership positions

• Should show strong documented technical knowledge in assigned billet • Demonstrate operational and/or command-wide impact • Enlisted Warfare Qualifications are expected when available and/or MTS/ATS if at IWTC, ATG or IWTG • Command or Asst Command Collateral Duties with documented impact • FCPOA leadership or influential involvement • Sailor 360 involvement

Considerations for advancement from E7 to E8 1. Sea Assignments: Sea duty tours are onboard surface units. Expeditionary assignments are also considered sea duty and candidates are carefully screened prior to assignment.

• Should show strong documented leadership results serving as a LCPO or in other key leadership positions • Should show strong documented technical knowledge in assigned billet • Demonstrate operational and/or command-wide impact • Enlisted Warfare Qualifications are expected when available • Training Team (DCTT, MTT, 3MTT, etc.) Leader with documented impact • Command or Asst Command Collateral Duties with documented impact • CPO Mess leadership or influential involvement • Sailor 360 involvement and leading a CPO initiation committee

2. Shore Assignments: Shore duty billets are primarily at NCTAMS, NIOC, IWTC, CPT, ATG, IWTG, CPT, CMF and at Operational shore sites.

• Should show strong documented leadership results serving as a LCPO, Rating Detailer, Training Manager, Course Manager, or Lead Instructor or in other key leadership positions

• Should show strong documented technical knowledge in assigned billet • Demonstrate operational and/or command-wide impact • Enlisted Warfare Qualifications are expected when available and/or MTS/ATS if at IWTC, ATG or IWTG



• Command or Asst Command Collateral Duties with documented impact • CPOA leadership or influential involvement • Sailor 360 involvement and leading a CPO initiation committee

Considerations for advancement from E8 to E9 1. Sea Assignments: Sea duty tours are onboard surface units. Expeditionary assignments are also considered sea duty and candidates are carefully screened prior to assignment. Special consideration should be given to those serving in these challenging sea duty billets with documented leadership and Fleet impact.

• Should show strong documented leadership results serving as a DLCPO/BLCPO or in other key command leadership positions

• Should show strong documented technical knowledge in assigned billet • Demonstrate operational and/or command-wide impact • Enlisted Warfare Qualifications are expected when available • Command Collateral Duties with documented impact • Training Team (DCTT, MTT, 3MTT, etc.) Leader with documented impact • CPO Mess leadership or influential involvement • Sailor 360 involvement and leading a CPO initiation committee

2. Shore Assignments: Shore duty billets are primarily at NCTAMS, NIOC, IWTC, ATG, IWTG and at Operational shore sites.

• Should show strong documented leadership results serving as a SEL, DLCPO or in other key command leadership positions

• Should show strong documented technical knowledge in assigned billet • Demonstrate operational and/or command-wide impact • Documented overall impact to IT rating (e.g. Rating Strategy Council, OCCSTDS, MPT) • Enlisted Warfare Qualifications are expected when available and/or MTS/ATS if at IWTC, ATG or IWTG • Command Collateral Duties with documented impact • CPOA leadership or influential involvement

Revised: July 2019

Notes:

1. "A" School is required under most circumstances. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis and usually

reserved for qualified PRISE-R or other qualifying program members. IT "C" School is highly desirable for this

rating.

2. This is not a compressed rating.

3. The IT community is broadly distributed throughout RESFOR and therefore not all ITs are members of an

Information Warfare Community (IWC/RPC 17) unit. Most ITs are embedded (EMBED) within non-RPC-17

units.

4. EIWS and other warfare qualifications should be viewed as a noteworthy achievement by Selection Boards. Only

Sailors assigned or mobilized to units under Operational Commands with an approved program have an opportunity

to qualify, but this requires the Sailor to take the initiative. Refer to COMNAVIFOR INSTRUCTION 1414.1A for

information related to the EIWS program.

5. PRDs are usually limited to 36 months with exception of assignments to special programs, or while in an

advanced training pipeline (e.g. Cyber Mission Force/Cyber Protection Team (CMF/CPT)). Sailors meeting these

exceptions can be assigned for 60 months. Cross-assignment PRDs are usually limited to 24 months.

6. ITs are transitioning from the Information Assurance (IA) (DoD 8570) specialization to Cyber Security

Workforce (CSWF) (DoD 8140) and levels of specialization will change. All ITs are expected to maintain

proficiency as specified by DoD 8140 and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) CSWF by earning

a minimum of 40 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) annually as directed by NAVADMIN 084/15. All ITs should

be CSWF coded in the Total Workforce Management Services (TWMS) under the “Cyber Security Workforce Info”

function.

7. ITs are encouraged to consider self-study programs to enrich their academic rate knowledge and maintain

technical proficiency. Programs are available through Navy Skillport (https://navycswf.skillport.com) or FedVTE

(https://fedvte.usalearning.gov). Navy COOL vouchers for certification exams may be issued if the Sailor is

pursuing credentials in a CSWF field as noted in TWMS Cyber Workforce Info. More information can be found on

Navy COOL (https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/cswf) under “Cyber IT/CSWF Workforce Model.” Note: If a Sailor is

not assigned a CSWF code in TWMS Cyber Workforce Info, they should immediately contact their training

department.

How do I get started?

You already have. All your training up to this point is part of your Information Systems Technician Roadmap. Now that youhave made the first steps you will need to sit down and formulate a plan. This plan will work best if you start out discussing youroptions with your Leading Chief Petty Officer, Leading Petty Officer, Mentor, or Career Counselor. They will help you understandall of the basics. Then your next step is to contact the Navy College Virtual Education Center or visit your Overseas Navy CollegeOffice. Then your counselors will be able to help you formalize your plan and make sure that it makes sense for both you and theNavy. To aid you in your conversation with these professionals, here are a few questions that you may want to ask.

What credits do you have? What non-college courses have you taken? Where do you want to go? What field of study, or whatkind of degree? What program will help me get there: Traditional or Online?

More information is available online at: https://www.navycollege.navy.mil

Joint Service Transcripts (JST)

JSTs are official military transcripts which are used by colleges to validate your actual credited training. Every Sailor has a

transcript already and access to it is free.

More information is available online at: https://jst.doded.mil/

The American Council on Education (ACE)

ACE has reviewed every course listed in the OCCUPATIONAL Roadmap and determined what type of collegiate level credit isrecommended. The ACE identifier, listed with each course, is a source to validate the information and to check for changes asthey occur.

Updates can be found at http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Military-Guide-Online.aspx.

Vocational Certificates

Vocational Certificates are available from most community colleges. Most of your military training can be counted toward theirdegree programs, but they will still require residency credits and approximately 40-75 credit hours. These certificates can be asvaluable as the apprenticeship program in the civilian work force.

College credits by Testing CLEP, DSST

Testing can replace the requirement to attend most of the college courses listed in the Occupational Roadmap. Base EducationCenters offer CLEP and DSST exams for active duty military at no cost. They also offer a comprehensive list of "credit-by-exam"tests. Additionally, many of the tests have study guides available. These tests are available at the base education center orthrough the base library system. For specific testing locations visit the DANTES website.

College Entrance Exams Testing ACT, SAT

The ACT and SAT are both standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. Many colleges require that studentssubmit test results as part of the admission application process. Since Sailors are considered transfer students, these tests arenot generally required for admission. However, some Sailors must take the tests to enter specific military programs.
